Owern Hart
Better than Bret for me, as a wrestler.

I found him more entertaining as he developed more as a character over the years
Blue Blazer High Energy Member ot Hart Foundation The ‘Slammie Award Winning’ Owen Hart The Black Hart Nation of Domination Hart Tagging with Jeff Then back to the Blazer Owen also changed up his high flying with his tech stuff Bret in retrospect has always just been a wrestlers’ wrestler. His style never changed and he was always the same character As a pure ring technition Bret came off stronger, but as a total package I personally found Owen more entertaining, but Bret was more marketable because of the time they put into him |

I think he was about Bret's equal as far as in-ring skill goes, but he had much more charisma.

There was something about Owen that was likeable. I don't suppose you could ever call him truly main-event but he was at that level where you could accept him being there. Thinking more recently, the same could be said about someone like Christian.
Bret shades it for me though. |

Yeah, I didn't get into wrestling until a few months before Owen died and when I looked back into wrestling history I was confused as to why Owen didn't ever main event.
They're completely equal if I'm to judge. |

Owen had a better overall package than Bret, IMO. He was a good technical wrestler, he was a good high flyer, he could do it all. And he could work face and heel, which is something than Bret couldn't do as effectively. Yeah he had some runs as heel, but he never really pulled it off like Owen did. I think it's a shame that Owen never had a good run as a main-eventer. Hell, there's been a lot worse at the top.

Actually, I was going to state my opinion, and then realised I didn't really have one. It was more of an off-hand introspective comment; I apologize if my rhetoric offended you. Then again, if you like, we can play this game:
Bret was boring, but Owen looked a lot like Michael Douglas. So it's a toss-up. ![]() |

On top with Bret, yes. In Japan and Mexico, maybe. Otherwise, probably not.

A few years older, and right place/right time, Owen could have been in Bret's shoes. No disrespect to Bret. Bret was a great technical guy, more so than Owen, but the younger Hart was more well versed in other styles. More well rounded. Bret was a better face though.
What happened to Owen was a real shame. All accounts paint him as a genuinely nice and funny guy. And there was real potential in The New Foundation too. The only New Foundation match I ever saw was vs The Orient Express at Royal Rumble '92 and it was a blinder. |

BTW, I find Bret Hart's work in the WWF a lot better to watch than Owen's... however, if Owen Hart worked the same way in he did in Japan in the WWF it would be very close.

Probably because none of his family would show up to induct him, as they hold the WWF responsible for his death, and successfully sued them for millions in the early 2000s.
The only person close to Owen who would maybe get involved is Bret. |

Didn't WWE settled the case out of court? I'm sure Bret has said that in a shoot interview

Most likely. To me, that's successfully suing them. If they thought they had a defence, they wouldn't have settled.

I wouldn't want anyone other than Bret or his wife Martha to represent him anyway.

There is actually more chance of an ice cube not melting in hell than Martha Hart at the Hall of Fame.
